  • Now Through September – Meet the Neponset: A Photography Exhibit of the Neponset River Watershed in Hyde Park

    Meet the Neponset: A Photography Exhibit of the Neponset River Watershed in Hyde Park is an exhibit by area photographers of the Neponset River, Fowl Meadow, Mother Brook, and surrounding areas. The work will be on display now through September at the Bean & Cream Cafe, 680 Truman Parkway in Hyde Park. Hours are 8 am – 9 pm. Photographs are by Jim LaFond-Lewis (his photo below,) Martha McDonough, Tom Palmer, Lee Toma & others. You will be amazed at the majestic, hidden beauty to be found in our own backyards from the River to Mother Brook to the Mill Ponds to Fowl Meadow. You will get a glimpse not only of majestic scenes, but amazing flora and fauna. The photographers’ hope is that people will begin to realize what a gem we have and want to protect it for all future generations and of course to pressure the State to get rid of the toxins that are still there.
